    "We are fairly close to popular Baltimore things. Just a stones throw from all nearby schools Towson, Johns Hopkins, MICA, Loyola, etc. We sit right next to Hampden and Belvedere Square. But we are also in an underdeveloped yet expensive part of Baltimore. It’s too expensive to reasonably live here but also ungentrified so we aren’t the cleanest prettiest place, but for important reasons of systematic racism, meaning some people call it “the hood.” With that said, my neighbors are nice and everyone I’ve interacted with on Greenmount have been very nice to me.
